1.2 - Budget Life Physical Wander
" Yes, going CI as a Wander requires some pretty good gear because you need high ES + resists + mana/mana regen. This is why we are not going CI, too expensive! Please read the post before replying. My progress is in huge freaking bold letters. IGN: Dmillz

" Was not necessarily asking about your build specifically. Was just a general question about power siphon since it seems so hard to find answers anywhere O sorry did not see progression on your page. Hella tired from working all day lol sorry.

" No worries man. It's almost impossible to get any answers from people who don't expect you to have 100s of exalts in gear when it comes to Wanders. Historically they are absurdly expensive but with the new Masters making crafting a weapon much easier I think it will change. I wouldn't personally go CI unless you have a pretty decent bank. It's more powerful end-game but much much more gear dependent. I just started leveling tonight for a bit. Leveling up as EK/Bear Trap is a breeze so far. IGN: Dmillz

I also made a physical wander (where were you when I was asking for help a couple of days ago!) Luckily, my build is fairly close to yours, and with a couple of respecs (lets hope i have enough left), I can function properly.
What are your thoughts on Iron reflexes vs an Evasion based build? Finally, can you list the auras from most important to least important, as well as the links from most to least? I basically try and function in 4 links because I am very budgeted. Can only run 3 auras atm, two 60% aura's and clarity. Can clear most mobs with ease, but my Single target dps seems to be lacking.

" I prefer Evasion simply because a granite with + %armor is enough armor (having and extra 2k from IR won't help much more. Both are fine though! Power Siphon + LMP/GMP + Chain + Inc Crit Damage Hatred + Grace + Clarity if you are running Grace Hatred + Herald of Ash + Clarity if you aren't IGN: Dmillz

Thanks for posting the build. Been dying to do a wander since I started this game. However currency isn't a huge deal for me since I found and sold a Mjolner :).
Anyways, I'm doing the EK leveling and it is pretty nice so far. I have a question though--do we need 1 or 2 EV/ES pieces of gear in this build since we take EB? If not, where does the extra ES come from to warrant EB? Thank you! |

Thanks for answering. Seems okay so far. Struggling a tad, but I think it's because I am undergeared >o<

Also, reflect is not an issue as long as you are running Ondar's Guile + Grace, as you end up dodging most of the reflect damage. Starting to scale up now, in my low 60's ^-^ Been testing both barrage and power siphon in ST, and for me power siphon seems to be winning out for now.

" You probably want all EVA/ES gear (depending on how good it is). You need just enough to sustain your auras and your attack, I have no idea what the magic number is though. IGN: Dmillz

" Ya I am more worried about reflect later on when your damage scales up a lot higher. I don't think it will be a huge issue with all the regen + flasks + Ondars though. As far as Barrage and PS, all the other Wander guides I've read say use Barrage that's why I chose it. I have not tested it yet. Be careful to base your decision on kill speed, not DPS. Barrage DPS is per projectile meaning it's 4x higher than what it says it is. Elemental Hit is another one you can try now that the mana cost is lower, but I don't think it will be as good since we don't have any elemental penetration.
